Museum in Zuid-Holland

The Dutch National Museum of Antiquities (Rijksmuseum van Oudheden) is the national centre of archaeology on the cultures of ancient Egypt, the Near East, the classical world and the early Netherlands, since 1818.

Very nice collections, well kept and documented.

Note: museum is in Zuid Holland but this is not set as a county at the moment

100,000 hours of Archaeology - Collecting in the Veluwe by Andy B on Friday, 04 May 2012
(User Info | Send a Message)
The Archaeology of the Netherlands department has a permanent space for compact temporary exhibitions about topics in Dutch archaeology. Until 18 November 2012, this space will host the exhibition 100,000 Hours of Archaeology: Collecting in the Veluwe.

The remarkable collection of amateur archaeologist and collector Eduard Zuurdeeg, in combination with his thorough documentation and his own scale models, forms a unique record of the history of Ede and the Veluwe. Along with drawers full of arrowheads and potsherds, it includes mysterious ancient ceramics, graceful bell beakers and axes, large grinding stones, Roman coins, and medieval wine bottles.

Eduard Zuurdeeg began with a shell collection in his childhood years. At the age of thirteen, he began combing the countryside for archaeological artefacts, and when he moved to the forested Veluwe region in the 1950s, the town of Ede and its surroundings became his archaeological 'hunting grounds'. Archaeology and collecting had become a great passion in his life, absorbing a great deal of time and energy. Eduard Zuurdeeg spent sixty years on this pursuit, four to five days a week, working indoors for fifteen hours and outdoors for twenty. That amounts to more than 100,000 hours of archaeology, an astonishing investment of time.

The value of Zuurdeeg's collection and working methods stems from his practice of painstakingly recording and reporting his finds. His diligence has made it possible for professional archaeologists to conduct further research on some find spots and secure them for the future. The National Museum of Antiquities purchased his collection in 2010, in partnership with the municipality of Ede. The objects and documents that it contains symbolize the passion and dedication of all amateur archaeologists in the Netherlands. Their knowledge and efforts are of inestimable value to the field, not only because of the objects and sites that they discover, but also because they help to protect Dutch archaeological heritage in the broadest sense.
